[ZF2] Zend Framework 2 : Getting Started
Posted: 13 Jan 2013, 20:35pm - Sunday

Since you already installed your PHP composer, next is you will download the Zend Skeleton Application at 

https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication
Extract or save the files to your apache/httpd public folder. In my case, it was in; 
D:\localhost\zend2>cd HelloWorld

D:\localhost\zend2\HelloWorld>dir
 Volume in drive D is WorkFiles
 Volume Serial Number is 3220-C192

 Directory of D:\localhost\zend2\HelloWorld

The composer.json is the requirement for the PHP composer.phar to update and install components/packages for the Zend Framework 2 (ZF2). The next you need to do is to self-update and install. Follow the command below; 
D:\localhost\zend2\HelloWorld>php composer.phar update
This dev build of composer is outdated, please run "composer.phar self-update" to get the latest version.

That's should do it... So you can view the installed ZF2 to your browser. It should look like the image below;

Installed Zend Framework 2.0.6

I hope this will help in your pursuance in studying Zend Framework or if you already into ZF but at version 1.x, then this is a good start for the ZF2.
